This is a great sesries and I have learned quite a bit...but I have a question. I am testing out my track plan the same way it was done on this video, hooking an Athearn Control Terminal to the track with Terminal Joiners, but the train will only go one way. Figuring it is one of two things...do I need to have the mainline be a complete circuit, or is there something I am missing? The two leads are for Track and DC...your help is appreciated!

Thank you MR for doing this series on Layout building, and publishing a step by step. I can really appreciate timely addition of the information David Popp gave in this series on track alignment, and doing a track test on a bare layout. Also, MR chose to model a layout close to the home of my youth, a small patch town in German Township, outside of Uniontown, PA.
